Singer Andy Williams was born in 1927 at this home in Wall Lake. He started his musical performances in church with his four brothers; then later the quartet performed on radio shows throughout the Midwest. Andy started his solo career in 1952 and is best known for songs such as “Moon River” and “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” In 1962 he began a successful TV variety show on NBC.
